The fantastic world of steampunk technology

Steampunk design has taken root in everything from computers to iPhones

Gritty Waltham, Mass., was the perfect center of the steampunk universe recently with a variety of the sub-culture’s notion of technology and society on display. If you are not familiar with the steampunk movement, it usually melds Victorian-era design, industrial technology and modern know-how into a fantasy world of machinery and style. In this case the pictures may do a better case of defining steampunk. Take a gander.

What would any good social movement be without an iPhone app. Take a look at the Steampunk GPS Apparatus. According to its developers, you can watch gears turn, needles spin, and text flip through, just like the steam-powered, spring loaded GPS Apparatus from back in the days before the electric spark changed the world!
